Hi TheEd - hope you are having a nice weekend. Are you still in Finland?
I did the county championship XC race yesterday. It was a TOUGH BEAST of a course! - no flat ground at all. 4 laps of grassy parkland - a good surface but it meant 4 long hard climbs (plus other little inclines) and some fast downhills.
The race was a good standard with a GB international racer winning. And many up and coming runners dashing along.
I was 13th in the Masters age group - which was 6 places better than last year and 45th overall. I was pleased to beat some guys who I never beat before and who have superior 10k times and are much younger than me ....
bit stiff today -but did a nice easy 50 min and felt ok.
Next week;
Mon - easy 60
Tue - 3 x 1600
Wed - easy 60
Thu - fartlek
Fri - rest
Sat - League XC race
Sun - easy 50 to 60
This ok?
All the best ... Dave
